Dear Friend.
Welcome To HCM.
I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail.
I understand your concern.
If you have got TPHA positive, chances of having syphillis are there.
In such conditions, you a person has exposure , we give him Penicillin shot.
If no exposure is there, we get the VDRL titres in dilution and then decide.
So, review with your reports.
This is my best advise for you based on available details.
Reply with answers of these questions preferably in point wise manner.
